I've been fortunate to read and learn so much from a great and diverse population of people by spending time on Twitter. Pharmaceutical company representatives, whistle blowers, advocates, doctors, patients, caregivers...the list goes on and on. There is a gem shining brightly amongst the crowd and her name is Regina Holliday. Her story, as a patient advocate is a powerful and poignant one. Here is one of my 'tweets' from today: View this w/out tears welling up:"Just a Girl" http://slidesha.re/h1Qdia by @ReginaHolliday brilliant - patient art advocacy - slide # 17 Please click on the slide show story : (view full screen, keep tissues handy)
Regina's blog, Regina Holliday's Medical Advocacy Blog is definitely worth reading. An inspiration like no other. She's truly remarkable. Regina Holliday has taken her grief, and her husband's story and placed it into a tangible place where many people might not have words to express their emotions--by painting the story onto permanent wall murals. Emotions, feelings, the scraps of paper, the notes are all used in a way that so many people who have experienced hospital settings this way can relate and for this sharing of herself, I thank Regina.
